6915005: G1: Hang in PtrQueueSet::completed_buffers_list_length with gcl001 Summary: When enqueuing a completed PtrQueue buffer, cache a local pointer to the buffer and clear the field in the PtrQueue prior to unlocking the mutex referenced by the _lock field and pass the cached local value to the enqueuing routine. This will prevent the same completed buffer being enqueued multiple times, which causes the hang. Reviewed-by: ysr

6896647: card marks can be deferred too long Summary: Deferred card marks are now flushed during the gc prologue. Parallel[Scavege,OldGC] and SerialGC no longer defer card marks generated by COMPILER2 as a result of ReduceInitialCardMarks. For these cases, introduced a diagnostic option to defer the card marks, only for the purposes of testing and diagnostics. CMS and G1 continue to defer card marks. Potential performance concern related to single-threaded flushing of deferred card marks in the gc prologue will be addressed in the future. Reviewed-by: never, johnc
